Hangdog Shorts are a reinvention of our classic Hangdog climbing shorts from the 90s. Only nowadays they've been revamped to suit to a more holistic, lifestyle-based approach to recreating outdoors.
Hangdog Shorts are made from a soft but durable polycotton drill fabric that also has a wee bit of mechanical stretch. We've rigorously wear-tested these by spending heaps of time out biking and climbing in the Port Hills. Product development can be a hard job eh, but someone's gotta do it! We've come to the firm conclusion that Hangdogs are the ultimate go-to shorts for doing good, active stuff outdoors, and they don't leave you feeling like a dork at the cafe or bbq afterwards.
Available in any colour, as long as it's slimming black.
- Low-profile zippered thigh pocket
- Reflective strip above back pocket (safety first)
- Triple stitched crotch

The Henry backpack is our fast and light adventure pack for a big day, or even weekend, out. Top loading to handle different size loads easily, we’ve kept things as minimal as possible, using lightweight fabrics where feasible, to enable you to forget about the pack and get on with the task at hand.
The reasonably large main bag will mean adventure racers and speed freaks will push the limits of what is viable with such a lightweight bag, yet the C-Aircell harness and shoulder straps keep the comfort levels high enough for a ultra lightweight multi day MTB trip. A shock cord compression system allows easy stowage of a jacket on the outside, and our oversized lid means lots of storage and maintains protection for the main bag closure if the bag is full or if you’ve got stuff under the lid. Run, hike, bike, ski, you name it - the Henry backpack is your number 1 lightweight option.
- Easy access side pockets with one handed closures so you can get to food or water bottles on the go
- A mesh pocket on the back panel
- Internal hydro sleeve with convenient routing for the tube to keep you hydrated
- Bladder tube retainer on the shoulder straps to keep the tube handy. The tube runs on the outside of the shoulder strap, not internally where it could end up rubbing you the wrong way
- External shock cord for excess clothing, and for load compression to keep things stable on your back
- Volume: 29 Litres

We're not reinventing the wheel here. A sock is a sock. But like all things Cactus, we've made sure that these ones will go the distance. We did the ultimate test and made Rob wear a pair. Cactus socks will keep your toes toasty warm, make your shoes more comfortable, last for ages and being merino - shouldn't stink.*
For all you old school people out there who think they'll be too warm for summer, merino is not only super warm in the winter, it's also super breathable in the summer.
The Cactus socks come in black and in three sizes.
*depending on personal hygiene, they will stink after several days of wear without washing.

A simple shoulder bag for the modern urbanite. Please note - not all colours and sizes available at all times.
We’ve been using lots of our Ultra C-Canvas lately and it’s such a nice fabric we couldn’t resist making a day to-day bag out of it.
Once again the theme with this one is simplicity and durability. Given how varied our customers are we aren’t even going to try and guess what you might want to carry in your Witness, but we’ve designed it to be perfect size for everyday use if you don't like to be burdened with too much excess stuff.
- The main bag has enough space for a book or two, your iPhone (no doubt), and your lunch
- The medium Witness will fit most tablets (painkillers or the digital kind) or a small laptop
- An internal pocket with sections for your wallet, phone, and pens.
- Easily adjustable shoulder strap
- Grippin Buckle flap closure - fast, secure and lasts forever
- Construction backed by a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship
- Sizes: Small or Medium
- Volumes: 7 litres (Small) and 12 litres (Medium),
- Weights: 350 grams and 435 grams,
- Measurements: Small: Base 22 x 12cm, Height 30cm , Top width 35cm Medium: Base 30 x 13cm, Height 35cm, Top Width 42cm,
- Fabrics: Ultra C-Canvas, C-1000n6
-
Country / Region of manufacture: New Zealand
- Use mild detergent or pure soap (preferably one that's nice to the earth)
- Our C-Canvas has a water resistant coating which can shift and discolour through the initial break in period
- For best results hand wash until broken in, machine washing is fine after this although it will reduce the lifetime of the product
- Drip dry without creases (it won't take long as the polyester in the fabric doesn't hold much water)
- Close zips while washing (they'll last longer)
- If your urban lifestyle gets so exciting that you rip your Witness, send it back to us and we’ll mend it for a small fee
- If you are still not sure, give us a call or flick us an email
The Subductor is a c-210n6 lined courier style shoulder bag, but has a squarer shape, making it suitable for A4 papers, folders, and meetings. The Subductor comes with a cross-strap which pulls it around your body; avoiding that dreaded forward swing as you’re passing the Brooklyn bus. A superb around-town equipment vehicle and incredibly hard-wearing to boot. We do bang on about our stuff lasting a long time, but it’s true. Davie Robinson’s one of these is still going strong after 15 years and due to the design’s lack of dependence on zips and high construction values it should pretty much last forever.
- Corner covers to protect your stuff from even the worst Wellington southerly
- Fully lined with c-210n6, for the same reason!
- Two front pockets for convenient access to your wallet/phone/keys/u lock
- Fat 50mm shoulder strap
- Volume : 14 Litres
- Measurements : Width 370mm x height 300 x depth 130mm

Being merino, they are also stink-free*. Perfect for a long hard day on the slopes.

We're once again not reinventing the wheel here. A sock is a sock. But we did realise there was a bit of a gap in our range for a 'daily' type sock. Thinner than your average work sock but still warm and comfy. Good enough to wear... Daily.
For all you old school people out there who think they'll be too warm for summer, merino is not only super warm in the winter, it's also super breathable in the summer.
The Cactus socks come in black and in two sizes.
*When we say daily, we don't mean wear them everyday. We suggest changing your socks after use. Merino does have anti odour properties. But, they will probably stink after several days of wear without washing.

We all know that a sock is a sock. But this one is just 'Better'. We once claimed that the Mahi Sock is top of the range but after vigorous testing, this one comes in a couple of points up on the 'Better' scale. Chunky knit, perfect for both in the workboots, or on the couch in winter.
Merino is not only super warm in the winter, it's also super breathable in the summer. Cactus socks will keep your toes toasty warm, make your shoes more comfortable, last for ages and being merino - shouldn't stink.*
*depending on personal hygiene, they will stink after several days of wear without washing.

A few months back while visiting the team at NZSockCo, Jared enlightened us to the fact that coloured socks were included in their offering. It was a fair point, other than our Mahi Socks, everything else on offer was black - boring black as a frequent customer of ours, Dave, calls it.
We raced back to Christchurch and flicked some designs through. A few months later and our new Tibia Socks were here. A little bit different, but something perfect for those who like a bit of colour in their lives.
In the early 90's in Wellington there were two communities - climbing and mountain biking. The Cactus Crew would make product during the week, and weekends were for hitching to various crags and races around the country. On the shores of Whanganui Bay in Lake Taupo, there is a climb known as the Tibia. Many moons ago, founders, Gwilym, Rob and Ben spent a fair chunk of time climbing the Tibia, and we thought it apt to name the sock after it. A nod to the simpler days.
Looks best with a Merino LS T-Shirt and a pair of Hangdog Shorts.
*Please note, socks may stretch over time depending on wear

We like to think of ourselves as hardy individuals. Drawing inspiration from an old high school teacher who famously tramped the Southern Crossing of the Tararua ranges in the depths of winter in bare feet, stubbies and an old woollen jersey, Rex is a legend.
But, we suspect that he, like others feels the cold more with age.
In honour of his exploits as a younger man, and to protect his (and all of our) hips and knees from the impact of the cold we introduce the Cactus Rex Merino long johns with the sartorial addition of a Cactus elasticated waist.

Waist
The measurements shown are of the garment itself. Please note the Long Johns have an elastic waist that will stretch to accommodate. Long Johns are standard fitting around the waist and in a size M will stretch an additional 25cm.
Inseam
Measure pants that fit you well. Lay them flat and measure from the crotch to the bottom of the leg hem. If you don't have suitable pants, measure from your crotch to your desired pant leg length.
